  • GPS Sleep: GPS module is off, but GSM remains active.
  • Online Deep Sleep: Device stays connected to the server but consumes less power.
  • Deep Sleep: Device disconnects from the server and wakes up on specific events.
  • Ultra Deep Sleep: Lowest power consumption mode, device wakes up only on ignition or external power.

7. Maintenance

The Teltonika FMP100 is designed for low maintenance. To ensure optimal performance and longevity, consider the following:

• Keep Clean: Periodically wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Environmental Conditions: Operate the device within its specified temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid exposing it to extreme heat, cold, or direct moisture.
• Secure Connection: Ensure the device remains securely plugged into the cigarette lighter socket to prevent intermittent power loss.
• Firmware Updates: Regularly check the official Teltonika website for available firmware updates. Keeping the firmware updated can improve performance, add new features, and resolve potential issues.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Teltonika FMP100, try the following basic troubleshooting steps:

• No Power/LED Off:
  • Ensure the device is fully inserted into the cigarette lighter socket.
  • Check if the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket is functional (test with another device).
  • Verify the vehicle's ignition is on, as some sockets are only powered when the ignition is active.
• No GPS Signal:
  • Ensure the vehicle is in an open area with a clear view of the sky. GPS signals can be obstructed by buildings, tunnels, or dense foliage.
  • Allow sufficient time for the device to acquire a GPS fix, especially after initial power-up or long periods of inactivity.
• No Data Transmission (GSM Issue):
  • Check the GSM LED indicator. If it's not active, there might be a network issue or SIM card problem (if applicable, though FMP100 typically has an internal SIM).
  • Ensure you are in an area with cellular network coverage.
• Unplug Detection Alarm:
  • If you receive an "Unplug Detection" alert, it means the device has been removed from its power source. Re-insert it securely.
• Device Not Responding:
  • Carefully remove the device from the socket and re-insert it to perform a soft reset.
